.Sh NAME
.Nm check-manpages
.Nd verify manpage subjects in packages
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm check-manpages
.Op Fl p
.Op Ar pkgname ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is used to check manpages in a collection of packages.
It will extract all manpages from the
.Ar pkgname
arguments into a directory named
.Pa manpages.XXXXXXXXXXXX
.Po
see
.Xr mktemp 1
.Pc
and run them through
.Xr makewhatis 8 .
.Pp
Note that this directory is not cleared on exit, so that the problematic
manpages can be examined more precisely.
.Pp
If no
.Ar pkgname
argument is passed, it will process all
.Pa *.tgz
files in the current directory.
.Pp
Options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width packing-list
.It Fl p
Run
.Xr makewhatis 8
in picky mode.
.El
.Pp
Errors reported in picky mode should usually be fixed, as it means the
subject line stored in the whatis database will be useless to find out
the corresponding manpage.
